IBS Support - Free & Trusted Resources for Gut Health

If you're struggling with IBS symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, or unpredictable digestion, it can feel confusing, frustrating, and at times overwhelming.

You’re also far from alone - IBS affects an estimated 10–15% of the global population, making it one of the most common digestive conditions worldwide.

There’s so much information online, and not all of it feels clear, trustworthy, or relevant - it can be really over-whelming to navigate this, especially as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to access NHS medical support

This page brings together a small selection of trusted, IBS resources, alongside my own gentle evidenced-based guidance, to help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in your next steps.

Whether you're newly exploring IBS or looking for holistic gut health support, this is a calm place to begin.

Understanding Your Symptoms (IBS Self-Assessment)

Before making dietary or lifestyle changes, it can be helpful to understand whether your symptoms align with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The Rome Criteria are used clinically to help identify IBS based on symptom patterns, and you can use the screening tool yourself here -

This simple tool can support your understanding, but it does not replace medical diagnosis or advice from your GP or a healthcare professional. I’d always recommend backing this up with a conservation with your doctor.

Gentle Next Steps for IBS Support

If you're taking your first steps, remember that IBS support doesn’t need to feel restrictive or overwhelming. Small, consistent changes, alongside nervous system support and a deeper understanding of your body, can make a meaningful difference over time.

If you're not sure where to start, you can download my free guide which covers first line IBS advice:

If you’ve already tried the general first-line advice and are still struggling with symptoms like bloating, pain, loose stools or constipation, this can be incredibly frustrating

Emerging research suggests IBS is closely linked to the gut–brain axis, which is why a more holistic, integrated approach which targets the nervous system can often be more effective.

I offer personalised IBS support that combines:

  • Evidence-based, gut-directed nutrition

  • Nervous system and gut-brain support

  • Gentle, sustainable lifestyle changes

This approach is designed to help you feel calmer in your body, more confident with food, and more in control of your symptoms.
